EJPECIFICATEON forming part of Letters Patent No. 311,639, dated February 3, 1885.

Applicati n file l October 13, 1884.

To (Li/1 whom, it mw concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN GEORGE BODEN- sTEIN,ot'Staatsburg, in the county otDutchess and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved IceHook, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in ice-hooks used for shifting blocks and cakes of ice.

The object of my invention is to simplify the construction of the same by making the pushing and pulling points of a single piece, all as hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is an enlarged side View of my ll'll proved ice-hook. Fig. 2is an edge view of the same. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view of Fig. 4 is a (No model.)

at opposite sides, the bar D being bent at the twisted parts, so that when the bar D is held in the eye of the eyebolt the two ends will be at differentinclinations to the pole. The end a is used as a pusher and the end I) is used as a puller. The bar D is held in: place on the eye 0 by a wedge, E. The pushing and pulling points are held by a single eyebolt,and to remove both points neither the eyebolt nor the collar need be removed. The cost of the ice-pick is thus reduced and the construction simplified.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. An ice-hook formed from a bar, D, havinga triangular erosssection and pointed at its ends, the bar beingtwisted at the middle of its length and bent at the twisted part, sub stantially as herein shown and described.

2. In an ice-hook, the combination, with the triangular eyebolt B O, secured to a handle, of the triangular pointed bar D, twisted and bent,as described, and the wedge E,for locking the bar in the eye, substantially as herein shown and described.
